Newborn projects
E3P has provoked scientific ideas that have led to the engineering of three new projects :
CLIMIX
The CLIMIX project (French "Climat et mix énergétiques, vers un simulateur intégré", funded by CEA-DSM) evaluates the energy potential from renewable resources (wind and solar) in France and Europe. A tool to simulate the energy potential (and its uncertainty) from scenarios of renewable energy fleets is being designed. The CLIMIX project also evaluates the feedback of energy policies on climate.
SEEN
SEEN (French "Scénarios Extrêmes pour l'Énergie Nucléaire") is a project funded by the French ANR (National Agency for Research).
The SEEN project will design extreme, but physically plausible, meteorological scenarios that could jeopardize the production and safety of nuclear power plants in France. For example a combination of an extreme heatwave and a drought could not only increase the energy demand for air conditioning, but it can endanger the cooling facilities of nuclear powerplants.
SEEN should start in late 2013 / early 2014.
A2C2
A2C2 (Atmospheric flow analogues and Climate Change) is a grant from the European Research Council (ERC).
The objectives are to study the deformation of climate dynamics under external forcings and the detection and attribution of extreme climate events, from innovative statistical methods.
One of the outcome of A2C2 is the study of "back swans" (or events that have never been observed before).
A2C2 will start in March 2014.
EUCLEIA
This Copernicus project analyzes European extreme events in quasi real time. It will contribute to the annual report on extreme events of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS).
EUCLEIA will start in 2014
Extremoscope
This project is funded by the French Ministry of Environment. It focuses on the backward analysis of extreme events in France and their impacts on some ecosystems.
